You were walking out of the arena listening to the people inside mumble rumors about you, yet not a one of them you heard were true. You kept walking until you had found a large building, a large window above you and a dark red smear on the wall "This must be the Kazekage's house" you muttered looking up at the window "I wonder which one heard my crash.... Sure was lucky they were there..
" you finished looking up "We faught until dark" you coughed up more blood "Dammit Kankuro" you wipped your lip surpressing the shutter "You screwed up my veins! It'll take hours to fix too!" you heard someone behind you say "Well, Sorry, I thought you were going to kill my brother"
You jumped before saying "what do you want?"
"To thank you"
"for what?" you asked starting to scale the staircase beside the Kazekage's house.
"For helping Gaara"
"I didnt do much" you told him getting to the roof "He's still majorly hurt... just not life threatening"
"Thanks" he said again watching you lay down and look at the stars
"What are you doing watching me? Its weird" you told him inching away
"You like the stars too?" he asked laying down next to you
"I like the way that you can line them up" you pointed to your favorite line "in ways that you can use puppets"
"You use puppets?"
"Itsa secret.... only my parents know-" you stopped there remembering what you had to do.
"What?"
"Nothing" you told him rolling to your side starting to replenish your blood. He sat up and looked at you "You said something back there... when I was holding you back with Crow... what was it?"
"Nothing" you told him bringing your knees to your chest
"fine fine" he sighed "You dont want to talk about it... I understand" he went back to looking at the stars for acouple minutes in silence when you told him "Mother and Father"
"What?"
"Thats what I said... Mother..... Father" you repeated holding tears back, turning to look at him
"Why?"
"No reason" you sighed
"You dont want to talk about it do you?" He asked standing up and heading inside "Theres a hotel at the end of the street" he pointed in the direction "you can get a room there until we figure out where your going to live"
"K" you told him sitting up, knees still to your chest
~One hour later~
You were still siting up on the roof, head now on your knees when you heard "Your still here?"
you nodded
"Why?"
"I've been thinking"
"About what?"
"Things" you told him as he sat down next to you
"You ok?" he asked and you changed your chin for your forhead
"No"
"Why?"
"because- because-" you started to cry "My village"
he was silent listening to you
"It was recently attacked, Im the only one left"
He was still silent
"Everyone else, their- their"
"their what?"
"Their either dead or kidnapped" you looked up at him crying as he brushed the hair out of your face making you blush slightly. "My parents- they're kidnapped" You looked down "I have 5 years to finish my training and save them.... I think they were lying-"
"Where's all this comming from?"
"I used to respect and listen and trust everyone around me" you continued "I did to everyone that crossed my path too, even though im me-"
"Whats that supposed to mean?"
"Then the day we were attacked.... a man approached me and started beating me up, all because I told him that I'd die to protect my parents"
He stared at you in disbelief
"Then I lost all trust... I dont even know why Im telling you this" you continued looking down when you were pulled into a hug
"Im sorry"
You were tinted pink. You closed your eyes and hugged back
"Worst part is-"
"hm?" he pulled you to look at you in the eye as you looked away
"I didnt even do the part that I was assigned at birth" you told him "Now no one from my village will ever forgive me" you gavea sob and he looked at you in a way of trying to get you to continue
"At birth I was assigned the position of protector"
"Whats that?"
"Protector? Its the person thats born once every one hundred years..." you looked away "From birth they become immortal" you sobbed "We're taught to fight with blood, and to be ready at a moments notice. I was taught the name of every person from the neiboring contries I might have a chance to kill" you coughed again "Then when I was nine I went behind alot of peoples backs to start becoming a medical ninja" the tears were rolling out faster then before. "Then after, I started to expirement with puppets during fights"
"and?"
"Theres no and... not for the next 2 years"
"I thought you said five"
"The people of the neck, have always been enemies with the blood... We have been lying to one another forever" you looked up from the roof into his eyes when you noticed he had a glimer of care and consern in each of his eyes. "Im sorry"
"for what?"
"All that you've been through ontop of being an immortal, not being able to die and all"
"Thats not true... I can die... but its suicide.... I just cant be killed by an outside force."
"Seems good"
You starred at him "It isnt good"
He pulled you into another hug. You hugged back.
"calm down" he urged you
"Thanks so much" you told him feeling your cheeks go hot pink as Kankuro's went red.
"Its gettinglate... I should be going inside" he told you helping you up
"And I better be getting to that hotel" you told him making your way down the staircase when youremembered something you forgot. You made your way up to the roof to pick it up when your eyes widened and you said
"Hidan-sempai"
